The unconditioned stimulus in the Pavlov case would be the dog.
True
False
The conditioned stimulus in the Little Albert case would be the rat.
True

True
False
If a response has experienced generalization, that means the person or animal responds to similar objects in the same way. Example: The dog drools at the sight of an oval and a circle.
True
False
The Bed-Wetting Case, where the Mowrers discovered a solution to bed-wetting by putting sheets on their bed that will sound an alarm when wet, is an example of operant conditioning.
True
False
The unconditioned stimulus is different than the neutral stimulus because the neutral stimulus doesn't elicit any response whereas an unconditioned stimulus elicits a response typically without previous training.
True
False
The Little Albert Case was an example of operant conditioning.
True
False
Learning is defined as a temporary change in thought that results from experience.
True
False
If you get in a car accident, at first it may be hard for you to drive again. Then you may get accustomed to it. However, a few years later, if a similar situation is present, it may still bring back your fear. This is called the Spontaneous Recovery principle in classical conditioning.
True
False
